sabineMy faith in humanity is at an all-time low. Well, maybe "all-time" is a bit of hyperbole. It's more of a monthly or weekly low. Yeah, that's closer to accurate. On an individual basis, I can like most people. As a group, however, I intrinsically dislike the species.
Here are three reasons why people suck and three reasons why I haven't done my best to destroy the planet. Maybe I should've stayed in bed longer this morning, after all.
Why people suck
First, he takes a toddler hostage. Then, she gets killed in the shootout with police. At the autopsy, they find out that she had quite a bit of cocaine in her system. Does anyone else see this as a problem?
This may very well be the definition of "overreaction". For the record, I've never been so into a sporting event that I've considered committing violence on anyone other than the truly deserving. Doesn't that reassure you?
As another entry in the dictionary, I would like to propose that this woman be the definition for "dumbass". It's bad enough to do drugs when your children are around, but it's exponentially worse to addict your kids, and then expect leniency from the sentencing judge. I just don't get it.
Why people are cool
This icon is fabulous. It's impressive in its creativity and execution.
Scientists have found a way to harness the Sun's energy to extract zinc metal, which can then be used to produce hydrogen simply by pouring water over it. With improvements, the process may prove a cleaner, more efficient way of producing hydrogen for fuel-cell-powered vehicles, which would emit nothing more polluting than water.
Imagine a cancer drug that can burrow into a tumor, seal the exits and detonate a lethal dose of anti-cancer toxins, all while leaving healthy cells unscathed. MIT researchers have designed a nanoparticle to do just that.
